SUBJECTS DISCUSSED AT THE ANNUAL MEETING O
THE COLLEGE ALUMNI

SUBJECTS DISCUSSED AT THE ANNUAL MEETING OF
THE COLLEGE ALUMNI.
HARTFORD, Jan. D. The New-England Alumni
of Trinity College met Thursday evening at the rooms
of the Hartford Club After dinner Professor j. J.
McCook of the Executive Board, who presided in the
absence of the president Of the association, W. A NJ
Wainwright NJ D., called the meeting to order and the
customary routine business attended to. The chair
man then welcomed the guests in brief address and
proceeded to call for speeches as follows 1.-The Col
Smith, DID,; The Trustees" by William Hamersley;
The Board of Fellows" by p. S. Bryant: The
by Mr. LOOMS, of the Hartford High School The
Church." by the Rev. Mr.. Rafferty, @The Business of
the Country" by William C. skinner; The Financial
Management of the College," by c. L. Graves treas
Mrer "a The Physical Culture of the Students" by ".
d. Morgan, NJ d.; "The Political Future Of the
Country by Professor Ferguson of the chair of His
tory and Political Economy.
The speeches all models Of their kind short,
bright and pointed but with undertone of earnest
ness and thoughttulness. There much mutual
congratuaton, which is, indeed, never lacking on
these occasions. but in this instance there seems TO
have been more solid oasis OF tact than sometimes
lists The college has evidently had year OF unusual
prosperity The gymnasium project, which first saw
the light at the meeting year ago. has naterialized
to such degree that the conditional grant the trus
tees has been met by the raising OF fund OF $4l 900
through committees of the alumni. The larger part
of this has been given by Junius s. Morgan, OF Lon
don, who besides contributing handsomely to the gym
nasum and gymnasium hall. has undertaken the erec
ton at his sole expense OF large building for tennis
courts walking and running track baseball practice
ETC.; and r. C. Coleman, OF Pennsylvania. has pro-
vided partial endowment for the establishment Be
sides this, important additions have been made to the
physical apparatus, including the gift by q New
Yorker Frank r. Roosevelt, OF a superb piece of ap
paratus- the most complete in America-ior illus
trating principles of acoustics 1t appears that
new building is required for the accommodation
of the chemical and physical departments and Presi-
dent Smith announced that the trustees had authorized
the preparation of plans for it, II seemed to be his
conviction, shared in by Mr. Hamersey, and indeed
trustees in this matter would be met in the spirit
and with equal hearness in the case of the gym
nasium.

The published statement that Dr. John 9. Barron.

WHAT PEOPLE THINK AND 81 \.
SUNDAY OPENING OF THE MUSEUMS.
rNrn1ss1nN opINInN rRnM LIE SUE

Az EXPRESSION OF OPINION FROM TIE SUB
sCRIBERs CALLED FOR.
TO the razor OF The Tribune
SIR: The question OF opening the Museums Of Art and
Natural History I'm the park has been under discussion III
various ways for some months WheIhe trustees Of these
institutions applied to by persons DESTROYS OF
the Sunday opening they have heretofore stated that the
museums had 10 available funds for the purpose. II
correctly informed the Board OF Apportlonment now
offers 10 pay 50 900 to each museum toward derayhS
the annual expense Of opening them free to the public
sunday afternoons after o'clock In addition to thls'
resolution passed by the Board Of Aldermen request
ing the sunday opening.
What do tho propose TO do under existing cir
cumsiancosl l. It not their duty 10 take some action ia
this matter The constituency Of these museums Is COM
posed OF patrons fellows life members and annual men,
bcrs numbering from 200 TO 1900 10 each museum.
These persons have votes In the annual election OF trs
tees and subscribe toward the running expenses OF tho
mu,eums SO FAR as can learn they have not been CON
suited with regard o. the sunday opening Would It not
bc well II the trustees unable 20 settle this question
and are dislncned frankly either side and
state their reasons for any action they may take refuse
10 take 10 call for expression Of opinion from the
subscrbers Those who willing 10 pay their money
I'm large sums yearly for the maintenance OF the mu-
senms might fairly be supposed TO have interest In
their welfare and justly expect to be consulted in mat
ter 81 this kind
Asa member OF the museum personally see no reason
why the museums might not be opened to advantage In
the afternoons on Sunday say after o'clock and In any
event should like to the experiment tried 1t seems
10 me that an experience Of four months would
soon settle the ndvisabty of Pcrna-
nent Sunday exhibitions. Yours respectfully. XIX.

MUCH INTEREST IN THE STRIKING PRODUCTION OF
TANNING or THE sHREw."
The Hobbies and approaches Of Days Theatre pre-
scented a remarkable spectacle yesterday afternoon
crowd composed in great part Of ladies, but with
larger percentage than usual Of men, besieged the
window through which could DO seen the weary look
ing ticket seller to the steps outside, and at times
even to the eurbstone, line of people extended
patiently waiting their turn to face the the
other side Of the little window and receive admission
tickets. All the reserved seats sold before the
doors opened, and before o'clock the announcement
was made that no moro admission tickets could be
sold. The consequence OF this rush was probably the
largest matinee audience known in the history Of that
bestowed upon a comedy OF Shakespeare. 1t would
doubtless have been profitable to OF those pcssi
mist philosophers who delight in dwelling upon the
decadence OF the stage and the absence OF any taste
tor good dramatic work the part of the public to
watch the stream pouring past Mr. Days ticket
The play followed with uninternittent attention
and throughout tho applause frequent. Miss
Rehan's Katherine" and Mr.. Drew's " Petrucho" in
especial reused the audience to enthusiasm. Mr.. DAILY,
who chatting during an ntermisson to visitor
in the lobby, expressed himself particularly pleased
find that the acting seemed to 30 more highly
praised than the production nom the point OF view OF
scenery and dresoes. The difficulty Of ecicnty cast
ing the play, he aptly suggested, had no doubt had
much to do with its disappearance in its entirety from
the stage for 80 long period. lie good-humoredly
touched on several carpng criticisms that bad been
made mpugning his historical accuracy and pointed
that the sapient critics had somewhat overrcachcd
themselves in this respect. Mr. DAILY mentioned
fact that to have escaped attention The banquet
scene has been perhaps more than any other in the
production admired Tor its picturesque grouping and
artistic combination of color II is clever adaptation
the central figure Of course, being omitted. The
costumes Of the period and the great artists group
ing and coloriDg are both strictly adhered to- The
surroundings are also closely followed though an
alteration il made In the singers gallery overhead
The audience last night was quite ~ large AS that
attending the matinee performance.
